Army ASVAB scores: minimum, line scores and jobs

What the Army asks for on the ASVAB: the minimum AFQT to enlist, how its line scores match you to a job, and sample roles with the scores they need. We are clear about what comes from an official source and what is commonly cited.

Minimum to enlist

The minimum AFQT only gets you in the door. The jobs you actually want will ask for higher line scores - see below.

Line scores / composites

The Army uses 10 "line scores" (composites) to match you to a job (MOS).

Composite	Name	Formula
GT	General Technical	VE + AR
CL	Clerical	VE + AR + MK
EL	Electronics	GS + AR + MK + EI
GM	General Maintenance	GS + AS + MK + EI
ST	Skilled Technical	GS + VE + MK + MC
CO	Combat	(formula not shown - some published composite formulas reference retired subtests)
FA	Field Artillery	(formula not shown - some published composite formulas reference retired subtests)
MM	Mechanical Maintenance	(formula not shown - some published composite formulas reference retired subtests)
OF	Operators & Food	(formula not shown - some published composite formulas reference retired subtests)
SC	Surveillance & Communications	(formula not shown - some published composite formulas reference retired subtests)

Where a formula is shown, it uses subtests still on the current ASVAB. Where it is omitted, the widely published formula relies on subtests that have been retired, so we show the composite name only rather than a formula that no longer matches the test.
